May 10th (Day 130) Bible Reading

1Sa 8:1
And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges
over Israel.

1Sa 8:2 Now the
name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were
judges in Beersheba.

1Sa 8:3 And his
sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and
perverted judgment.

1Sa 8:4 Then all
the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto
Ramah,

1Sa 8:5 And said
unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us
a king to judge us like all the nations.

1Sa 8:6 But the
thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel
prayed unto the LORD.

1Sa 8:7 And the
LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they
say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that
I should not reign over them.

1Sa 8:8 According
to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out
of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other
gods, so do they also unto thee.

1Sa 8:9 Now
therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and
shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.

1Sa 8:10 And
Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.

1Sa 8:11 And he
said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will
take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to
be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.

1Sa 8:12 And he
will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will
set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his
instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.

1Sa 8:13 And he
will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks,
and to be bakers.

1Sa 8:14 And he
will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the
best of them, and give them to his servants.

1Sa 8:15 And he
will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his
officers, and to his servants.

1Sa 8:16 And he
will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young
men, and your asses, and put them to his work.

1Sa 8:17 He will
take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.

1Sa 8:18 And ye
shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you;
and the LORD will not hear you in that day.

1Sa 8:19
Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they
said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;

1Sa 8:20 That we
also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out
before us, and fight our battles.

1Sa 8:21 And
Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of
the LORD.

1Sa 8:22 And the
LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel
said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.

1Sa 9:1
Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of
Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite,
a mighty man of power.

1Sa 9:2 And he had
a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there
was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his
shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.

1Sa 9:3 And the
asses of Kish Saul's father were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now
one of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek the asses.

1Sa 9:4 And he
passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they
found them not: then they passed through the land of Shalim, and there
they were not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they
found them not.

1Sa 9:5 And
when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was
with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father leave caring for the
asses, and take thought for us.

1Sa 9:6 And he
said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he
is an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us
go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go.

1Sa 9:7 Then said
Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man?
for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to
bring to the man of God: what have we?

1Sa 9:8 And the
servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth
part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell
us our way.

1Sa 9:9 (Beforetime
in Israel, when a man went to enquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us
go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was
beforetime called a Seer.)

1Sa 9:10 Then said
Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city
where the man of God was.

1Sa 9:11 And
as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to
draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here?

1Sa 9:12 And they
answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste
now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the
people to day in the high place:

1Sa 9:13 As soon
as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to
the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he
doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now
therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him.

1Sa 9:14 And they
went up into the city: and when they were come into the city, behold,
Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place.

1Sa 9:15 Now the
LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,

1Sa 9:16 To morrow
about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou
shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save
my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people,
because their cry is come unto me.

1Sa 9:17 And when
Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee
of! this same shall reign over my people.

1Sa 9:18 Then Saul
drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the
seer's house is.

1Sa 9:19 And
Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer: go up before me unto the
high place; for ye shall eat with me to day, and to morrow I will let thee go,
and will tell thee all that is in thine heart.

1Sa 9:20 And as
for thine asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for
they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it
not on thee, and on all thy father's house?

1Sa 9:21 And Saul
answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes
of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of
Benjamin? wherefore then speakest thou so to me?

1Sa 9:22 And
Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the parlour, and made
them sit in the chiefest place among them that were bidden, which were
about thirty persons.

1Sa 9:23 And
Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave thee, of which I said
unto thee, Set it by thee.

1Sa 9:24 And the
cook took up the shoulder, and that which was upon it, and set it
before Saul. And Samuel said, Behold that which is left! set it
before thee, and eat: for unto this time hath it been kept for thee
since I said, I have invited the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day.

1Sa 9:25 And when
they were come down from the high place into the city, Samuel communed
with Saul upon the top of the house.

1Sa 9:26 And they
arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel
called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And
Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad.

1Sa 9:27 And
as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the
servant pass on before us, (and he passed on,) but stand thou still a while,
that I may shew thee the word of God.

Joh 6:22 The day
following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that
there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were
entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that
his disciples were gone away alone;

Joh 6:23 (Howbeit
there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat
bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)

Joh 6:24 When the
people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also
took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

Joh 6:25 And when
they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi,
when camest thou hither?

Joh 6:26 Jesus
answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because
ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

Joh 6:27 Labour
not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto
everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God
the Father sealed.

Joh 6:28 Then said
they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

Joh 6:29 Jesus
answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him
whom he hath sent.

Joh 6:30 They said
therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe
thee? what dost thou work?

Joh 6:31 Our
fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from
heaven to eat.

Joh 6:32 Then
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that
bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

Joh 6:33 For the
bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the
world.

Joh 6:34 Then said
they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

Joh 6:35 And Jesus
said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never
hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

Joh 6:36 But I
said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

Joh 6:37 All that
the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no
wise cast out.

Joh 6:38 For I
came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent
me.

Joh 6:39 And this
is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I
should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

Joh 6:40 And this
is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and
believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the
last day.

Joh 6:41 The Jews
then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from
heaven.

Joh 6:42 And they
said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know?
how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?

Psa 106:32 They
angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses
for their sakes:

Psa 106:33 Because
they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

Psa 106:34 They
did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

Psa 106:35 But
were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

Psa 106:36 And
they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

Psa 106:37 Yea,
they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,

Psa 106:38 And
shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their
daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was
polluted with blood.

Psa 106:39 Thus
were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own
inventions.

Psa 106:40
Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch
that he abhorred his own inheritance.

Psa 106:41 And he
gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over
them.

Psa 106:42 Their
enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their
hand.

Psa 106:43 Many
times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and
were brought low for their iniquity.

Psa 106:44
Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

Psa 106:45 And he
remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of
his mercies.

Psa 106:46 He made
them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.

Psa 106:47 Save
us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto
thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.

Psa 106:48 Blessed
be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all
the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.

Pro 14:34
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any
people.

Pro 14:35 The
king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him
that causeth shame.
